Tactically allocated across a global opportunity set

Absolute return focus

The fund’s defensive capabilities and wide duration range (-3 to +8 years) help it to achieve positive returns across a wide range of market environments.

A unique portfolio complement

The fund seeks to provide many of the benefits associated with core bond funds – such as capital preservation, liquidity and diversification – while achieving positive absolute returns over full market cycles. Although this strategy may enhance performance, particularly during market declines, it may lag during strong up markets.

Our Expertise

The fund’s expert portfolio management team - Marc Seidner is CIO of Non-traditional Strategies, Ed Devlin is a managing director and head of Canadian portfolio management, and Mohit Mittal is a managing director and member of PIMCO’s Americas Portfolio Committee - is supported by the full spectrum of PIMCO’s global resources and our four decades of active bond management experience.​​

PRIMARY BENCHMARK

3‑Month CDOR

PRIMARY BENCHMARK DESCRIPTION

The 3-month CDOR is the average bid-side rate for Canadian bankers acceptances determined daily from a survey of market makers and can be used as a proxy for the cost of 3-month bank funding. It does not reflect deductions for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.

Disclosures

All investments contain risk and may lose value. Investing in the bond market is subject to risks, including market, interest rate, issuer, credit, inflation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of most bonds and bond strategies are impacted by changes in interest rates. Bonds and bond strategies with longer durations tend to be more sensitive and volatile than those with shorter durations; bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise, and the current low interest rate environment increases this risk. Current reductions in bond counterparty capacity may contribute to decreased market liquidity and increased price volatility. Bond investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed. Equities may decline in value due to both real and perceived general market, economic and industry conditions. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks, such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested. For a complete description of the risks associated with a particular Fund, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus.
